Adobe Illustrator CS6 is a powerful vector drawing tool that includes everything you'll need for design, web and video projects.
One major headline this time is the new focus on performance. True 64-bit support and Adobe's Mercury Performance System play a big part in improving responsiveness, but Adobe have also been identifying and resolving bottlenecks all around the package. The previous Gaussian blur implementation wasn't the best, for instance, but it's been optimised for CS6, and as a result Gaussian blurs (and effects which depend on them, such as drop shadows and glows) are now much, much faster.

It's a similar story with the interface. There's an obvious new look (you can even tweak the UI brightness to your personal taste), but Adobe report making more than 40 usability tweaks to the Illustrator interface, from easier font changes to inline editing of layer names.
And workspace management just generally works a little more like you'd always hoped. So even options which were previously hidden away, such as the Shape and Pen tools, can now be torn off and docked. And you can dock tools horizontally or vertically to organise your workspace just how you'd like.
You're looking for something more? Illustrator CS6 is relatively short on the big new features. There's a new image tracing engine to help you convert raster images to vectors, for instance, and the program can now easily create seamless tiled vector patterns, but that's about it.
Is it worth the upgrade, then? Tricky: the performance enhancements and UI tweaks are welcome, but may not be enough to justify the outlay. We'd recommend you try before you buy.
Please note, the file you'll download here is Adobe's Download Manager, which will then fetch and install Illustrator for you. It's a huge file, though, so patience will probably be required.
Verdict:
Illustrator CS6 is notably faster and smarter then the previous edition. It's otherwise a little short on major new additions, but that's no great surprise as the program already did just about everything you could want, and it remains the best vector drawing tool around
Hey there, s.torrance84,Thanks for visiting the Apple Support Communities. If I understand your question, you'd like to know whether the Adobe Creative Suite 6 Master Collection will work in macOS 10.13 High Sierra. I'm happy to help you get some information on that!
Adobe indicates in their support article Installing Creative Suite on macOS 10.12 (Sierra) that: Creative Suite applications are not supported on macOS 10.12 (Sierra) and therefore, many of the Creative Suite installers may not function normally on macOS 10.12.
Since macOS 10.13 High Sierra was released after macOS 10.12 Sierra, it seems as though the same information would apply to High Sierra. However, to be certain I would recommend getting in touch with Adobe. You can check out the system requirements for their Master Collection here: System requirements | Adobe Creative Suite Master Collection, and reach out to them directly here: Contact Adobe Customer Care.
